: '''IMPORTANT!!!''' The DL380-G6 Server (AX693A) is shipped with an internal USB Drive, which conflicts with the Linux OS used by the Application Server (MP_DVD_308-7_0_2_14.iso). The problem was fixed in OS 312, but there will be no rebuild of 7.0.2.14. As a workaround, remove the USB Drive from the system.

*:You can also use these steps to describe the process to the customer:

+

:# Remove the top cover of the server.

-

*:1. Remove the top cover of the server

+

:# Look on the left side of the server toward the middle. The USB flash drive is plugged in near the edge of the secondary (internal) cover next to the connectors for two cables coming from the HDDs.

-

*:2. Look on the left side of the server all the way toward the middle, near the edge of the secondary (internal) cover, next to the connectors for two cables coming from the HDDs,you should see a USB flash drive plugged in

+

:# Pull the USB flash drive out and close the cover.

-

*:3. Pull the drive out and close the cover.

Notes:

The Cisco MCS 7845-I3-RC2/AX693A does not support the Web Server for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.0.

Cisco MCS 7845-H2/I2-RC1 and MCS 7835-H2/I2-RC1 servers are supported for upgrades only. However, they are not recommended for use with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.0 due to their smaller hard drives.

If you are using the DL380-G6 Server from HP, the Application Server software must be at MP_DVD_308-7_0_2_14.iso or higher from manufacturing.

IMPORTANT!!! The DL380-G6 Server (AX693A) is shipped with an internal USB Drive, which conflicts with the Linux OS used by the Application Server (MP_DVD_308-7_0_2_14.iso). The problem was fixed in OS 312, but there will be no rebuild of 7.0.2.14. As a workaround, remove the USB Drive from the system as follows:

Remove the top cover of the server.

Look on the left side of the server toward the middle. The USB flash drive is plugged in near the edge of the secondary (internal) cover next to the connectors for two cables coming from the HDDs.

IMPORTANT!!! When installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.0 Application Servers, make sure to connect the monitor directly to the server. Using a KVM of any kind (for example, a SIP Based KVM with SMART CABLE) might result in the installation UI not being displayed on the monitor, and thus prevent you from continuing with the installation.

Audio and Video Blades

You can purchase Audio Blades and Video Blades for "active" redundancy, without licenses. For example: Audio user licenses are sold to support 250 ports. Two Audio Blades are installed for a total of 500 available and active ports. System capacity is governed by the licenses for the total number of audio callers into one or many meetings. If a blade fails, the system stops using it and places callers onto the "redundant" Audio Blade. A minor alarm is registered if a blade drops off unexpectedly.

All Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.0 versions support a maximum of six Audio Blades and six Video Blades. The total number of audio and video ports this provides depends on your configuration:

One device set to auto-negotiate and the other device set in a fixed configuration.

10Mb Ethernet.

Half duplex Ethernet at any speed.

Using 10/100Mbps for MCU and EMP, nor any hard set values (MCU & EMP tested and certified only on Auto/Auto setting connected to 1Gb switchports)

Caution! Setting one device to auto-negotiate and the other device to a fixed configuration will often result in negotiation failure, where one side thinks it has a full duplex link and the other side thinks it has a half duplex link. This will result in intermittent non-specific failures which get progressively worse as the load on the system increases and can result in a complete service outage.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace supports the Cisco MCS 7835 models only for systems that are upgrading a Web Server from Release 6.0 to Release 7.0. For Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems that use new hardware for the Web Server, we require a Cisco MCS 7845 H2/I2 model (or I3 for Release 7.0.3).

The Cisco MCS 7835 models must have at least 4GB of memory using these memory modules:

SQL Server Requirements

If you choose the local SQL Server option, the system automatically installs SQL Server 2000 (Service Pack 4) during the Web Conferencing software installation. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (Service Pack 4) is included in the Web Conferencing Release 7.0 installer.

If you choose the remote SQL Server option, you must install SQL Server 2000 (Service Pack 4) before you install Web Conferencing. You must also install and configure your SQL Server to be case insensitive because Web Conferencing supports only SQL Server case-insensitive configurations. If you configure your SQL Server to be case-sensitive, Web Conferencing will not function properly.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing requires additional disk space for recording. See the "Recording Size" section in the Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.0 or the online help in the administrator interface for more information about recording.

You must set the network port configuration on your Web Server to "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" and not "Default."
